i’m going to sleep but omg what a night

i only got one shot of hasan but i think it’s not too bad. it’s neutral leaning toward joy, and also his eyes are open and he’s not blurry. i have so many blurry photos of people with their eyes closed. plenty of room for improvement, of course.

Closed-loop cooling means only at the rack. ~80% of a datacenter's total water footprint is upstream thermoelectric power generation, not on-site cooling. Going dry-cooled at the facility raises PUE by 0.05-0.15 → more electricity for the same IT load → more water diverted at the power plant.

feels very special to have gotten to shoot that party there was overall very few cameras - maybe 5 or 6 standups and about the same number of photographers. i wonder if more were credentialed but they opted to go elsewhere? big mistake if so. that room was the epicenter of the universe tonight.

i really enjoy brad lander's vibes

i know everyone's mostly paying attention to the congressional primary results but Jessica Ramos, who controversially backed Andrew Cuomo over Mamdani last year, just lost her State Senate seat to Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas

The city where strangers embrace in the street, where people line up to vote to feed and house and educate the most vulnerable in their midst, where more people choose to live than any other place in the country, the place enjoying the safest era in its history — this is the *real* America.

'Carl Bergstrom, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Washington, has developed bonds with many crows at his home and on campus....“I’ll find myself sneaking across campus in a tunnel or through buildings,” he says, “because I feel so bad when I run into them.”'

What is the principle you stand for? What is an issue you would never compromise on? What do you represent in the world? Anything? Or just the naked embrace of power for an institution that you'll grasp at, and try to prevent the evolution of, at any cost?

how successful have the moderates been in reining in the excesses of the trump administration

There are definitely some real fault lines here! And - particularly when it comes to congressional leadership fights - I think some of the people who beat centrist candidates will have an effect. But I also think it's easy to overstate the whole party at each others' throats type narrative.

I'm also on vacation... so I also wouldn't quote post Paul, let alone the underlying post from @dholms.at . But, once I'm back... then I'm sure I'll have cool things to say about the permissioned data proposal.

We want health care and no wars, Mark. They want a permanent and abusive straight white male Christian nationalist country that dehumanizes everyone else.

NEW: Federal Case Unravels, Four Felony Charges on Minnesota Activist Are Turned Into One Misdemeanor On June 23 in Minneapolis, Isa Lopez had five federal charges with a possibility of eight years in prison reduced to one misdemeanor and was sentenced to time served and a $25 administration fine.

yes! so we might as well actually run on “radical” ideas!

I am jealous of the Chicago and DC flags, which are similar. Seeing the pride residents have in them and all the art people have made was a big inspiration for me on this! I want it for Brooklyn!

They do! The Queens flag is lovely. Staten Island used to have a crazy one but their BP actually addressed it! www.silive.com/news/2026/06...

Brad Lander is a Hillary Democrat who has been in NYC politics for almost 20 years. This isn't some massively radical moment!

This era is *starting to* have the makings of a Tea Party moment in purely structural terms. However, comparing socialists to MAGA or the Tea Party when it comes to policy or tone is a blatantly false equivalency.

This is true! Still, along with the fact the flag sucks and no one cares about it, that's a real good reason to replace it.

it fucking rules that new york city politics have become what outsiders assumed they already were

CAN YOU BELIEVE THE BROOKLYN FLAG HAS A FASCIST SYMBOL AND NO ONE IS FIXING IT

Right?!? I actually got this presented to Adams' staff. He felt this was beneath him. I would forgive Reynoso for rubber stamping so much minimally affordable housing after not even attending many of the hearings if he got this done!

Perfect example of why these sites do not provide any meaningful insight into elections. And just so we’re clear…

Quote of the night: A man in an Aber Kawas soccer jersey hugs someone else as they leave the DSA election night party and exhales, “Winning feels good!”

I have a lot of bad takes. This is my best one. We need a beautiful new flag for Brooklyn. I have been on this for years.

I wanna give a big shoutout specifically to my friends @junaidforus.bsky.social and @nidaallam.bsky.social, both of whom had very close losses earlier this year in the primaries that — as heartbreaking as they were — a lot of progressives learned from.

I usually go to Barney’s Beanery but I’m worried it will be a zoo especially because Travis Kelce just had his bachelor party there or something?

The flag predates Mussolini, who appropriated the symbol and named his party after it. I would still argue it's among the many good reasons our flag could use an update.

Hello Los Angeles- Where should I go with my friends to watch the World Cup games on Saturday?

i'm troubled by the election results coming out of new york city tonight. i firmly believe that no one should ever do anything

"I recently had the opportunity to hear Bhattacharya in person during his visit to Purdue University. I expected to endure scientific ignorance, right-wing pandering and claims of victimisation, and I was not disappointed." @davidsanderssci.bsky.social in @timeshighered.bsky.social

I say this almost every day but The MOST democratic and Democratic thing any of us can do is hold our own “team” accountable. And when we don’t, we end up in administrations like this. I like my leaders to question authority and invite criticism. If you can’t, you should step down.

Another super pro Abundance figure - Antonio Reynoso - lost in NYC today. I am glad he's gone.

Terror Charges, and the Criminalization of Pro-Palestine Activism in the Czech Republic unicornriot.ninja/2026/terror-...

man this sure shut up a whole hell of a lot of people.

Half the crowd has remained at 99 Scott after DSA’s election night party technically concluded to watch Darializa Chevalier’s victory speech on the screen. Room is still substantially full, but less jam packed than earlier. Content warning: Strobing light halfway through.

DSA election night party ends with Seeger’s “Solidarity Forever,” which attendees continue singing acapella after the music ends. Many continue mingling, much of the conversation being astonishment and unrepentant joy.

I am kind of bummed we're losing Claxton. I guess it's better the team gains size but he's not exactly exciting. I think this is mainly an admission they're not competing for 2-3 more years, which we knew.

Re-upping for reasons. cc: @jaimeharrison.bsky.social

Nationwide non voters are an extremely influential bloc. It is a defining feature of our politics.

I was so hungry on the way home from class that I ducked into a sushi place and inhaled $50 of sashimi. Circus is a very expensive hobby.

That's the thing! I am sure I annoy folks with this. It is both my job and temperament to be critical and skeptical of politicians. Turn to operatives, friends, and pundits for cheerleading. I'd like to think my function is useful too!

made it two minutes

Claire Valdez chokes up leading a chant of “When we fight, we win” and again as she introduces herself as “your next congresswoman.” Says she spoke with BP Pres. Reynoso, who graciously conceded the race.

Well, this is definitely Colombia’s game to lose. Reminds me a lot of my morning Sunday league team - great ball control and possession, but no finish. They’re just asking DR of Congo to get a lucky goal at this point, and then hang on until the end.

Mayor Mamdani showed to the DSA election night party and introduced newly elected slate winners Diana Moreno, Aber Kawas, Samantha Kattan, and David Orkin

has anyone done “goldman sacked” yet

If you haven't watched the ad this clip was shot for, it's pretty great too

“Democratic socialism is coming soon to a neighborhood near you. And I’ll make sure of it!” Quick interview with Hasan Piker at DSA election night party in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Mamdani outperformed the Knicks, going 3-for-3.

i’m a jewish NY-10 resident and i’m damn proud of the message we sent.

i did not realize i’d inadvertently written the lede for patty’s headline

Tonight's @hellgatenyc.com livestream was legendary. Not too late to watch, not too late to subscribe!

The Zomentum is bananas tbh

Clean sweep for Zohran, soooooo maybe the most politically effective mayor in NYC history, in addition to being good at the job.

Caught a wild “Fuck AIPAC” redux from @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social and Hasan Piker at the DSA election night party in Bushwick, Brooklyn

New York City voters seemed energized by victories from Brad Lander, Darializa Chevalier, and Claire Lopez. But in this small diner roughly 75 miles outside of Topeka, news of the results was not welcomed as warmly

The energy at the DSA election night party feels like an earthquake just ripped through the democratic party in a way that cannot be undone. I said yesterday that there was a movement and a political renaissance happening in NYC and here we see the heart of it. Also Chelsea Manning is DJing.

Not every account that does PROJECTED WINNER posts is actually working on meaningful or accurate projections

Congo’s jerseys go so unbelievably hard.

Summer 2026 will really go down in the NYC history books

at least tomorrow is friday

what’s happening tonight in NY is how we win the infrastructure is there, you don’t have to build it from scratch, it’s called the Democratic Party you just need to go and wrest the controls from the people who aren’t serious about doing what needs to be done, and as tonight shows, that’s doable

I have lived here for most of my life. Me and a ton of people I know can't stand this guy. But thanks for telling me we don't exist.

george conway lost by a bajillion votes which we can all agree is fucking hilarious

That means he gets to build a hotel!

In light of the horrific Plainview sentences, everyone needs to pay attention to this: Marcy believes the indictment of 15 anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota will soon be followed up by similar charges for protesters around Delaney Hall.

that sound you hear is every too-comfortable incumbent screaming, crying, throwing up

Local pollsters are calling it for Darializa against Espaillat with 89% in and a 3% lead, but partygoers haven’t quite yet allowed for it to be official.

wh...why would you drive over the reflecting pool

Okay AI has one use i guess

I've reached the point of engaging with people who are arguing it's good for individuals or public funds to have Tesla stock. I have a class tonight and that is also a very good point for me to leave off this discussion. ✌️

This is really stupid come on.

NYT oped group chats must be lit rn

I don't really want to betray sources here but you can contrast that with the very specific legal work Goldman did. It's also a sharp contrast with follow on work on cases, letters, suits, and other things that arent publicized as protest.

Another round of explosive cheering at DSA party as election is called for David Orkin.

sophia have i ever told u about the humble potato pan cake

“He then leads a chant of ‘Let’s go, Jack.’”

Wow, now there’s a blast from the past. Was not expecting to see the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man In the World in a commercial this decade. Rock on, amigo.

Are we being serious with this?!?

I think Tesla is pretty clearly a reckless unethical investment and has been for a long time. Both of his successors ran on divestment after Brad made similar mumbling arguments that it was impossible.

I just try to keep it real with people! These are my observations. I will share them even when it's against the popular take here.

Alexa Aviles was pushed out pretty early on. I think she's a far more genuine progressive option than Lander. Also newer blood.

This is officially an irrelevant discussion

About to watch this Columbia vs. DR Congo World Cup match with the full knowledge that my wife would leave me in a hot second for Daniel Muñoz and I can’t even be mad, his work rate is insane. So much fun watching him play for Crystal Palace. Just nonstop energy, and he’s so unselfish.

The booing that just broke out in the crowd in response to Hakeem Jeffries on the screen at the DSA slate election night party was so intense it immediately felt like Knicks fans seeing a Spurs fan after game 4.

all these NYC primary results being in five figures is a hell of a thing, in a town whose population is a wee bit over five figures

New York Dems going worst to first so fast.

why is there an ALPR in a place with no LPs to R

Every 30 seconds there’s a “[Candidate who ran on the slate] has won!” followed by huge cheers. The only one, as far as I can tell, that hasn’t been called yet is Darializa, who’s currently 2% ahead. Chants of “Claire was there!” and just “Claire!” breaking out.

THERE ARE MORE OF US—and good things happen when we mobilize.

1) His relationship with Mamdani was far more complex than the easy narrative as evidenced by extensive reporting and his lack of a City Hall post. 2) He had the city pension fund invested in Tesla and painted himself as an Elon opponent. Divestment was real opposition. ...

Lander is such a Dickens name for a dude who nailed it.

of course cancel me daddy is taking full credit for the lander win.

Then its a touchdown and they go for the extra point

It is SUCH a relief when good things happen!!!

No response :/

oh no they ran the prewrite
